Its the worst time of the year to do Figure hunting. I found a Jack Swagger that i have been wanting for months and of course, i attempted to stand in line with my 1 item but the lines were impossible. its the last few days before christmas and every line had at least 20 people in it. so of course, i gave up and put the figure back and went home. However, the one good thing about the holidays are that people will buy all the shelf warmers just to please their children for christmas. I was glad to see all those John Cenas and Rey mysterios off of the shelf lol. I am hoping now that they will replenish with a whole new series. We all know how the stores are. They will not order new stock as long as they still have the Shelf warmers warming the shelf.

I would've waited in line to purchase a fig on my want list. But that's just me.

I've been able to get to the stores very early in the morning. Once it hits 11 AM, forget it.

I would've waited in line to purchase a fig on my want list. But that's just me. Exactly this.... If I would to find a figure that I really wanted, it wouldn't matter to me if there were 10, 20 or even 30 people in line before me! |

I've actually had a lot of success these past few days. I've found the new boppv cena and sheamus as well as all of elite 18 and the lines haven't been to bad.

I couldnt wait. It was a freakin mad house in that store. lines were moving slow, people moving slow and then changing their minds at the register and everything else. Any and everything to make the lines move slower was the reason why i left. i did kinda hide the figure so i will go back and pick it up in the morning.

I don't know what you're expecting with the lines and what not. It's going to be busy it's the holiday season, especially with it being two days before Christmas and people doing last-minute shopping.

i dont care about waiting in lines my problem with holidays is none of my local stores want to restock. went to target last night they had 1 elite 12 orton and some flexforce... that was it & its been like this for about a good week, & all my walmart has is a few basic 23 & like 3 kane/cena BP, no elites.
i feel bad if parents were wanting to get their kids any figs for christmas cause they won't be doing it in my town with stores like this

I don't mind the lines, traffic, busy stores around the holidays. Thats helping the economy baby and its good to see. Who I do hate, however, are the scrooge's who hate this time of year. They're miserable, rude, and come out in droves. If anyone should stay home and shop online, its them.

Last night I bought the boppv announce table set for $40 and there was hardly any line. And since the sale had just ended the employee adjusted them for me, not bad in my opinion.

$10 per fig plus an announce table is awesome

i went to a walmart and nearly everything was gone except some henrys. i saw the macho punk 2 pack that i wanted but decided not to buy it since i was buying something else. it is definitely gone by now though. kinda sucks since i also wanted the belt. then i went to a kmart and saw a ton of the basic series with the new bourne and saw the henry barreta 2 pack, didn't have money.

Had to get a few things at Walmart the other day and it was a zoo. At least they had cashiers scheduled so it wasn't too bad. The day before teh snow hit so I assume more people were in because they stayed home the day before too. I did find Epico/Primo so it was all worth it for me!
